The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

Yeah me too, but I do worry about these new big deals.... look at Franklin. Since he was on the real big money whats he done?? Then again theres no other option I guess.

The thing that I can see with Jesse is that he's driven to be the best and absolutely hates losing. Paying him big money on a lengthy contract wouldn't change this.

[daisycutter 28,683]

He is at the club for the next 48 games guaranteed - there is no rush. The next deal can be the huge one.

shouldn't that be the next 54 games?

Yes i think your probably right with this kid. Just saying many millions of dollars can be distracting for a young lad.

What are you suggesting, just let someone else give him the money so they can deal with the distracted superstar?

[ManDee 7,093]

Ask him how much he wants to earn over his football career. Then simply fill in the number of years.

I'm guessing a young man would like $10million

On a one club entire career basis that would be a bargain.

Front and rear end the contract and away we go.

$2mill

$1mill

$700kl

$700k

$600k

No, if youd read my earlier post i said its not like we have a choice....

[Gator 16,921]

Ya poor bastard.

[Gorgoroth 12,351]

He would be watching the bullies delivering to their forwards and thinking, I would have 80 goals this year if I was at that club.

If we don't improve by a massive margins next year, he will walk the year after to a better club.

Do we have to hear this after every bad loss? It's actually disrespectful to Hogan.

[Gorgoroth 12,351]

It's my opinion, and I truly believe he will leave the club eventually.

Wether that is 2, 5, 8 years I'm not sure. But I don't have faith he will be a one club player.

good. now you've stated your opinion (and i have noted it), can you avoid repeating it at every opportunity?

[low flying Robbo 979]

What did Cripps do this week? Hoges would have helped his chances of Rising Star with 3 goals in a rubbish team this week

Nope, just like a ar$ehole I'm always behind you to spout shite!

So why doesn't the same ridiculous fear mongering apply to Gus Brayshaw?

[Gorgoroth 12,351]

He is a mid from vic, won't get near the same amount of money thrown at him by other clubs especially those from his home state.

ok, dog follows his master

[Scipio 5,868]

In this day and age he could get enormous amounts thrown at him regardless.

The point is, you're spending too much time despairing over losing Hogan. He is contracted to us at the moment, he puts in more effort than most on game day and he clearly seems to love playing with his mates. What will be, will be but I think he'll be with the MFC for a long time and I expect the club will do what they need to to ensure that this happens. We are improving and every time I've ever heard him speak, he indicates that he is very passionate and very keen to spearhead this improvement and make the club great again.

Smokey for future captain?

[Gorgoroth 12,351]

I'm petrified that I'm finally seeing a forward show as much promise as the Ox and I can't help but think/feel he will up and leave us.

I'll try and stop now.

Cripps was the leading disposal winner for his team with 25.... Hardly going to hurt his chances with that performance...

[jacey 333]

The thing that I can see with Jesse is that he's driven to be the best

When asked what he thought about the rising star award and his competition for the award.

"Sheed and esp. Cripps is going really well. Getting over 35 last week, mid 20's in the last month....(hesitates)... actually haven't really paid attention and just trying to improve himself"

He is tracking everyone and wants to be better then everyone.

Stop anytime now...

[whatwhat say what 19,644]

will live in fear til he's locked away with us longterm.

Poor choice of avatar, fella.

Seriously.

This was interesting:

If you're OK to download the 53MB and get to the Jesse interview, his somewhat equivocal (look it up?) response to the "How do you like living in Melbourne?" question was where the worry lies for me.

Meanwhile, though, it's great to have him with us - with a bunch of other good stuff (albeit spasmodically!), it makes watching/following the Dees a little bit better than it has been in recent years!

[Skuit 9,380]

TRB - I'm not okay with 53mb. Can you please summarise for us? Your thoughts of course.
